BTS Fans Are Outraged With CupcakKe Over Her Comments About Jungkook

Meanwhile, others are standing up for CupcakKe.

The BTS fandom is at odds with one another following a series of tweets by rapper CupcakKe about group member Jungkook.

As All Kpop pointed out, it all started when CupcakKe opened up on Twitter about her attraction to the BTS celeb. She said that a BTS fan was upset with her for talking about being sexually interested with Jungkook and that she "meant that sh*t." Fans flocked to her first tweet to call her out. One person replied, "I wouldn’t be surprised if bighit sues her for like sexual harassment." Big Hit Entertainment is the company that manages BTS.

But as more and more BTS stans came for CupcakKe, she continued to tweet her feelings about Jungkook. Some were a little bit more explicit, which continued to fan the fires of the outrage. But she also attempted to call out a double standard. She wrote in one tweet, "If he tweeted I want to f*ck cupcakKe, why would I get mad?"

While she makes a point about being sexually autonomous, it should also be clear there's a line when it comes to talking about being attracted to other people. CupcakKe is known for breaking taboo when it comes to sexuality and being sex positive. But it's possible that Jungkook could feel uncomfortable about CupcakKe's comments. At this point in time, he hasn't commented on the situation himself.

However, other people were also defending CupcakKe. Some of the argument against her was that she was sexualizing who happens to be the youngest member of BTS. One viral tweet pointed out that the two are the same age, 20 years old.

Other people pushed back against this perspective, citing Korea's "conservative culture." But others called out that there's plenty of fan fiction about BTS members and it's unfair to police CupcakKe and not those writers. One person even alleged that the criticism from BTS fans who were upset with CupcakKe might be because K-pop fans are "notoriously antiblack."

CupcakKe also said that BTS fans are now attacking her on Instagram, telling her to die by suicide. While it's understandable that some fans might be angry with CupcakKe, this sort of harassment is also very wrong. Many BTS fans are also upset over the hashtag #deathtoBTS, which appears to have possibly been started by Cupcakke fans trying to protect her from the legacy. This is also totally uncalled for.

Defending your idols is completely valid, but when it crosses into this territory, it's unacceptable. Hopefully, everyone can find common ground on the situation and sort everything out.
